The hundreds of billions of dollars in investment probably have something to do with it. Many wealthy/powerful people are playing for hegemonic control of a decent chunk of the US economy. The entire GDP increase for the US last year w

I'm sorry, but LLMs aren't a magic spell that can solve the world's problems. If you are not a stranger to the biomedical world, then you understand that new treatments take at least a decade before they are treating patients

Cool, but the macOS commands being wrong irks me. You could at least check them before publishing. It seems like you used an LLM to write that part. And the table "quick reference" at the end is also a LLM tell.

Same as it's ever been. When the founders of this country cried about freedom, they meant for themselves to not pay taxes that would cover their debts, not freedom for their slaves or lower-class Americans. After all if you are at the

ARM/M1 macOS took their hardware platform from iOS. TEE, signed/verified/readonly system files, etc. They are similar in security now. [1] https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/security/ [2] ht

I learned how to my shoes the bunny ears way, then as an adult skipped the standard knot and went straight to the Ian knot. Still can't tie my shoes with the standard knot :)

Who is a "terrorist" in the eyes of the US gov't has always been their political enemies, never themselves or their allies. At this point, it's simply an empty accusation that has been so ingrained into the American psyc

OK, I read about someone being murdered by their spouse. That doesn't mean it is going to happen to me. The media reports on sensational stories. That doesn't make them normal.

by tkel 9mo ago
Thanks for sharing your story about how simple normal requests lead to simple normal social outcomes. The isolation and atomization of modern individualized living has led people to be so controlled by their anti-social anxieties, fear, and

Which governments are referred to as "regimes" is usually propaganda about how you should feel about them. Consider: all articles written about US using the words "The US regime".

Agreed, the author basically says that coding is not required anymore, the job is reviewing code. Do engineers not actually want to build things themselves anymore? Where is the joy and pride in the craft? Are we just supposed to maximize p

Yes it's not loading on the archive but I was following the thread closely, it was said recently within the last few months which prompted further discussion and this action by ffmpeg.

To all the people who seem to be invested in the actions of Mozilla: you should invest in an organizational structure that actually gives you a say in the company's actions: a consumer cooperative.

Here is the github thread which had some recent discussion before the repo was taken down. Rockchip said something like it would be too much work to fix the licenses for all the new chips they are creating. https://web.archive.o

For all the people who appear to want a say in this, perhaps you should advocate for a structure in which you actually have a say? As in, nationalization of TikTok? All other outcomes on the table, you have no input or direction on this com

If two profit-seeking organizations can profit more from collaborating, why wouldn't they? Increasing profit is not zero-sum.

The simplest explanation would be that Instagram crawled my TikTok's account's followers and is curating my Instagram reels based on that point in time. However that's not what happened, because my "following list"

Notably, this started happening the day that I made my TikTok account public. My Instagram feed began to be a copy of my TikTok feed. The exact same videos. Even after changing my Tiktok back to private and deleting all of my followers, the

Pretty sure TikTok and Instagram are sharing data somehow as well. My feeds are near identical.

Agreed, writing formal specifications is going to require more work from people, which is exactly the opposite reason why people are excited to use LLMs..

Don't rely on hierarchy. Earn others' trust as you would when you are an equal. Don't expect deference just because of your position. Although hierarchical decision making may be more efficient, it's an unnatural system

Yeah, this makes sense, in a world where the things sold to you are produced by profit-maximizing capitalists. If the company were instead owned by the users, such as a consumer co-operative, then its products would serve the interests of i

That's not what democracy is. The algorithm is developed in an organization that is structured as a dictatorship.

by tkel 10mo ago
Perhaps such things should be controlled democratically instead of by a single person or a small group of people whose companies are organized as dictatorships.

If I were Israel, I would have not invaded Gaza, which would have resulted in far fewer civilian casualties, and also would have ended the strikes by Hezbollah. Also, if you look at the data on attacks by Israel against Lebanon, they are di
